Microchipping Service:

PAWS offers microchipping services for pets brought to them by the public. This service helps increase the chances of lost pets being returned to their owners.

Euthanizing Policy:

PAWS has moved away from euthanizing animals and now focuses on adopting out all pets. Their goal is to find loving homes for every animal in their care.

In addition, PAWS offers various services including pet adoption, spaying and neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping. They also provide educational resources and support for pet owners.

Animal Intakes:

PAWS accepts animal intakes by appointment only. This helps manage the intake process and ensures a better customer service experience. While PAWS primarily focuses on dogs and cats, they may also have other animals available for adoption. It's best to contact PAWS directly for more information.

Adoption Services:

PAWS ensures that all pets are healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations before adoption. They also conduct health checks to ensure that adopted pets are safe and healthy. Adoption fees vary depending on the age and type of the animal, as well as any additional services provided. PAWS also offers adoption specials and discounts periodically.
